I really must get on with writing

Yesterday I sent my manuscript to an independent publisher, Night Publishing. Hopefully, they will have it out on Kindle by August. It's not like getting published by a big firm, but it gets it out there, and is still quite exciting.

I have ideas for a sequel, and for a completely different book, based loosely around the Bible and creation. But what am I doing instead? I'm sitting on a writers' website, posting pointless comments on a forum, like I am a teenager on Facebook.

I know I could be doing more productive things, like writing my sequel, and getting it finished soon after the first one is published. Or I could be reading - I'm currently half way through The Once and Future King, a wonderful book.

Indeed, I have just realised that just by writing this blog, I have managed to drag myself away from that damn writers' forum.

I feel so much better, I might just pop back in and see what's going on.
